~Friday marked the end of Brianna's formal school days - no more lessons - there are just the Year 12 exams to go after this block of school holidays. In the morning, the students were allowed to have "Muck Up Day" - Brianna tie-dyed her summer uniform for the event! Boys wore girls uniforms, girls wore boys uniforms, they used super-soaker and Nerf guns, they made a huge soapy slip-n-slide and slid down the hill (bear in mind it was only 13C here yesterday and Brianna is soaked through!) and they had tins of 'silly string' too! I attended their final full school assembly at 10.30 - they had all changed back into their proper uniforms by then. They entered the hall, each student holding the hand of a 'reception' student, the littlest kids in the college - representing the beginning and end of schooling and the little kids had a picture and drawing to present the Year 12's. Very cute.

After exams in early November, I will never have to iron another blue school shirt - something I have been doing since 1995 when Kirby first started primary school. Through winter and summer I have always prided myself on having fresh ironed shirts for the girls. Sad really.

ReplyDeleteIt is a VERY bittersweet time and even though it has been a year since Brenton finished school I still feel a tad wistful at times.
I still have such a long way to go. Oldest in yr 9, youngest in yr 2.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they had a wonderful muck up day.
Turning a new page in the journey of life...
ReplyDeleteThey grow up too fast!
It is a strange feeling not to have to do school uniforms but your will get used to it:0)
ReplyDeleteI new chapter in your lives now so enjoy!
The end of an era but the start of another..... Looks like they had lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like they had a good time. Love the cake!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a rite of passage, the end of school, isn't it? My son left junior school back in July and it was a really big thing for him. Love the idea of the big ones holding the littlest ones' hands in assembly - so sweet!
